Avg Antivirus 7.5 Questions asked
Voting Question: Can someone help me with updating my AVG antivirus software?
So I click the button to update my AVG software. It starts downloading and gets to 100% complete, but then it says "Internet connection is required to download AVG 8.5 setup file automatically from the Internet. Internet settings will be obtained from the AVG 7.5 Update Manager."
I don't understand what that means. Obviously I have internet connections because I'm able to get on here and ask this question. What do I do to update??? This is my work computer and I really need to figure out how to do this. Please help!Yes, I'm trying to update within the AVG
moreResolved Question: Why I am not able to update AVG antivirus 7.5 ?
I installed old version of free AVG antivirus 7.5 because my PC is also old, with WIN-98 SE. It was written on site that it will get updates. But the antivirus is not updating itself. What could be the reason ? Can I install some other version on WIN-98 SE which can be updated also ?
moreResolved Question: Kaspersky and AVG will not uninstall.I feel so hopeless :(?
I have posted numerous times today (sorry yo bother you all).Because I have an array or problems with my antivirus protections.
I have AVG 7.5 and Kaspersky still somewhat installed into my PC.I uninstalled AVG a year ago and Kaspersky about 2 weeks ago.I have noticed that they are BOTH on and the same time.I want to delete both of them though.And I can not seem to manage it.
I have downloaded 2 tools to uninstall Kaspersky...and one is for the 2010 and another for the 2009 version.BOTH have told me that they can not find Kaspersky in my system.
I have tried to delete it all manually through the Registry through the guidance of someone else who has helped me.And it seems that a file "LEGACY_KLIF" can not be deleted.Nor can a subfolder named "0000" or it's keys be deleted.It says that it can not delete them.So I have been trying to find a way too.As I even entered safe mode to perform this action.It still will not work.
With AVG.That's another thing.it is telling me it is on,in my "Security Center".I have downloaded a AVG removal tool.More than one,for diffferent bit requirements(I have 32 bit I believe but I thought I would try the 64 bit).And the 32 bit has a program that I run.And it says "This application will remove AVG from your computer.It can require one or more restarts during the cleaning process.Please save all your work and close all other applications.Do you want to continue?"
So I say "Yes".And a little black CMD box scans through a bunch of text then disappears.This happens everytime.No other boxes come up notifying me if it was uninstalled.I have restarted my computer many times and it seems that AVG is still on and working.So I was wondering if you can help me with this matter.Any advice will me helpful.Thank you SO MUCH.Take care!
**Note** I have Windows Vista.I bought my PC about 2 years ago.Not sure what version of Kaspersky I have.But I believe it is "internet security" from 2008 or 2009.AVG was installed and uninstalled (I believed so,anyway) before Kaspersky.
Please help.Thank you again!

moreResolved Question: Why is my internet so slow after downloading Avira antivirus ?
After avg 7.5 expired i tried downloading AVG 8.0... but it doesn't download properly. So i took Avira instead.
However, ever since downloading avira , many things have changed:
youtube videos, just won't load anymore.
limewire cannot search anymore
i can't download anything
even text sites occasionally stall...
and the computer's start -up is REALLY slow.
p.s. all this time i have had avast! but the thing is , i can't run my computer on just avast. the last time i did that, i almost lost everything.
So, should I delete avira and try AVG 8.0 in the next 2 weeks ?
moreResolved Question: how to disable AVG Antivirus for sometime and again enable it after 3-4 hours.?
For online trading,antivirus should be disabled.I have AVG Anti Spyware 7.5. Does this version have feature to disable it for sometime? After online trading,again I want antivirus to run as usual.
moreResolved Question: Antivirus for Windows 98 SE.?
Is anyone able to suggest a good antivirus program for my old computer which runs Windows 98 Second Edition. AVG 7.5 is no longer supported, and 8.0 will not run on Win 98. As well Avast will run on 98 but is too heavy, crashes the computer.
moreResolved Question: I'm asking about good, free anti virus other than AVG:?
I've been enjoying AVG free 7.5 on my w98 machine, but they've stopped supporting w98. There are no more updates for 7.5 and 8.0 won't run on w98. Is there another free antivirus program I can use on this machine without replacing the operating system? I have Norton antivirus also, and it's paid through June so I'm not in a panic. I like AVG best though and was hoping I woulnd;r have to pay Norton again this year.Thanks so much, folks. As the w98 machne sinks into its inevitable and planned obsolescence, I'll just renew the Norton antivirus as long as that's supported and put AVG 8.5 on my Toshiba Satellite/ Vista machine. The cost of a new OS and unforseen whatever led me to take the path to a newer machine and OS. When the old w98 pentium goes dark, I'll still be able to exist in the virtual world. AVG was great while it lasted. Many thanks to Grisoft. I'll always give them a thumb-up.

moreResolved Question: What can I do about this virus that causes pop ups on my computer?
Antivirus 2009 and a bunch of pop ups were on my computer. I was able to remove Antivirus 2009 with a system restore, but the pop ups are still there. I think the pop ups are coming from an internal source. I already have Google pop up blocker, and I have another pop up blocker program that was working before the restore (for some reason it isn't now, maybe because I haven't restarted). Also I have two virus protection programs on here and they aren't saying that anything is wrong (I have ESET NOD32 AntiVirus 3.0 and AVG 7.5)... What can I do?
moreResolved Question: Problem with AVG Firewall?
Hi,
I have just started an Orange Mobile Broadband (Internet Everywhere) contract (well.. I am still on the trial)..
I have been trying to speed up my internet connection. The network connection is "Excellent", yet I am getting anywhere between 100 bytes per second and 50 kilobytes per second! This, to me, is not acceptable - they are calling it "Broadband" for starters, yet its slower than Dial-up?
Anyway I contacted Orange Technical Support yesterday, and they said to make sure any firewalls I have are switched off just for testing purposes. I switched off Windows firewall, but the security center said a firewall is still on - AVG Firewall to be more specific. I closed down AVG antivirus and it still said it was on. I have googled this problem loads, and it seems that AVG free (the version I have) does not have a firewall, and I cant find anything in AVG control center about a firewall.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this problem? My AVG free version is 7.5.552. I do not have a "Tools" menu in the AVG control center, as has been suggested in the past.
Many many many many many thanks to anyone who comes up with a solution!!
RichardI actually tried something else. I looked up recommended antivirus programs and found avast was quite popular. I uninstalled avg and installed avast. My computer now says no firewalls are now running, yet there is no difference in the download speed. The download speed, according to http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/, is ~350 kbps, which is about 43 - 45 kB/s. The 2nd figure should be in the region of several hundred, according to phones 4 u (the company I am with for the contract - the dongle is just using the Orange network). One of the guys in the store said that he has Orange Mobile BB and he is getting a download speed of several hundred kB/s.. call me gullible if you like for believing him! Anyway I cant think what else to do as this didnt work. I will try contacting Orange technical support again tomorrow but other than that I think my only option is to swap to a different network.
Does anyone have any alternatives?

moreResolved Question: Good Performance-Efficient Antivirus Programs?
I currently have AVG 8. I used to have AVG 7.5 because I found that it caused the least amount of lag/performance issues on my computer, however since changing to AVG 8 I have found that whenever I start the computer avgupd.exe or a similar AVG process is using up roughly half my CPU-causing my computer to take far longer to start (by start I mean like opening a program-not booting)
Anyway. my question is:
Does anyone know any performance efficient anti virus programs? I am willing to buy one, but I would like to see what people think of it before I purchase one.
I also previously purchased Norton Antivirus, however I then discovered it was designed for someone with the computing ability of an armless monkey, and I would like one that has some advanced capabilities.
Thanks
moreResolved Question: Cannot remove "brastk.exe" from my PC.?
PC randomly restarted while surfing the internet; anti-virus programs won't run.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was surfing the internet when my PC randomly restarted. I knew right away that my PC had become infected, and when it rebooted I expected to see a window in the bottom right corner of my screen telling me to download some rogue anti-spyware program.
That didn't happen, however. There are no visible or obvious problems with the PC, and I wouldn't know I have this problem if I wasn't there when it happened.
I have Spybot S&D and AVG Antivirus. When I tried to run them, nothing would happen.
Renaming their .exe files worked, but they could not find anything.
I downloaded HiJackThis, and a whole list of other programs to help me remove whatever I had (including Malwarebytes' Anti-Maleware).
None of the programs did anything, or would even run.
Upon renaming HiJackThis and looking through the log, I found a file named "brastk.exe", which I found to be a bit suspicious. Google searches confirmed that its no good.
Running Malwarebyte's seemed to help; it found ~24 infected files and removed them all except one (brastk.exe). The PC was rebooted in order for the files to be deleted.
When the reboot was complete, I was able to open Spybot and HiJackThis fine without any renaming.
Spybot found nothing. AVG will still not open. Running Malwarebytes' again found brastk.exe and 'removed' it.
The file is still there. I am currently running a Malewarebytes' full scan. Its been scanning for 31 min and has found nothing. I doubt it will find anything.
AVG will still not open, and when trying to update it from 7.5 to 8.0, the installation fails.
Google searches say that this file is related to some sort of rogue antispyware program, but I have not seen anything of the sort. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems, but I do not feel safe while it is still on my PC.
If the full scan finds anything, I will add the information.The full scan found 3 files.
They were successfully removed.
I then ran a quick scan again, and brastk.exe is still there.
Each time I run a scan, it is removed, but comes back right away.
Malwarbytes' seems to be useless.
I don't have this "Antivirus 2009" program anywhere. No popups or error messages or anything regarding it.

Well i currently tried to download a file of the internet and got a huge virus off of it. I have Norton antivirus 2008 and it only blocked the trojans attempting to attack. It didn't block or delete any of the spyware/malware that came along with it. I delete MicroAV off pc along with some of the registry keys of it i could find. But....i still am getting redirected to virus sites and keeps trying to attack. i have no clue at all how to fix this. I have run norton full scan,AVG full scans, and plenty other scans off trusted sites. Ill post my hijack this log

moreResolved Question: When I Open up PC Tools Anti-Virus Free Edition, My 3 1/2 Inch Floppy Drive makes a "Whirl" Sound?
Hi, Ok i use PC tools Antivirus, I use it for the Main virus Checker in Windows Xp Pro, i used to use AVG Free edition 8.0
but it slowed down the Scripts in the Help & Support center, so now i am Ok with PC Tools, But I Have one minor problem, When I Open up PC Tools Antivirus:
Start>all programs>PC Tools antivirus>PC Tools antivirus
When it Opens up, My 3 Inch Floppy Drive (A:) makes a little sound, In the past when i used Spybot Search & Destroy, it also made a little Floppy Drive Whirl Sound, HOW do i get rid of that so it Wont Make that sound.......When i used AVG Free edition (7.5) & (8.0) it never makes that Whirl Sound.....
I dont think its a computer problem, but i dont know what it is, but how do i fix it. Suppose i put a Blank Floppy in my 3 1/2 Inch Floppy Drive, It would make a sound when i double click it,
It does a similar sound when i Open up PC Tools Antivirus
any idea why it does that?

moreResolved Question: Are all these protections required?
I currently have Threatfire, Spyware Terminator, AVAST 4.8 antivirus, SUPERAntiSpyware, AVG antispyware and ad-aware. I previously used AVG 7.5 but after I upgraded it to 8, I felt that I don't need some of the features so I opted for AVAST, which I used before. Now, I have a feeling that AVAST is really slowing my PC and internet speed. Can you guys recommend me some good antivirus that is light on usage. Or can I just uninstall some of the programs as mentioned before?

moreResolved Question: new to avg free 8 cant figure out for an hour how to remove cookies it finds
after I scan, I get a big list of mostly tracking cookies. some say they are moved to the vault but when I go there by hitting tools, these files are not there, also the stuff that goes to the vault do I hit delete or is it already preventing the stuff from doing harm in a kind of holding pen.
when I go to warning on the scan page, I see the list of items (cookies) but not sure have to delete them or what..how do I delete the threats the scan turns up which are mostly cookies...clicking on removing all unhealed infections does not seem to get them off there
I hate the new version 7.5 was much easier but no more updates Please advise me as to what the functions are after the scan is over are to get rid of the stuff the scan turns up Trojans cookies and what not..or is there a link or video that takes one set through steps through how to work this new avg (I do not want avast as I tried and could not figure it out)..are thee the only two good free antivirus detectors
